With Chris Gayle seemingly close to the end of his international career, former Jamaica and West Indies opener Wavell Hinds believes it would be unfair to compare him to Windies legend Brian Lara despite their achievements.

The 39 year old Gayle last week in the series against India , became the leading run scorer with 10,480 and recorded the most One Day International appearances with 301, overtaking former captain Lara in both categories.

However, Hinds who played with both Gayle and Lare during his career, says both of their careers should be celebrated without the comparisons.
